Stonehaven man Doug McKelvie is to hang up his fundraising hat, with one last grand finale planned for the end of November.

The self-confessed ‘serial fundraiser’ has planned his final event at Stonehaven Golf Club on November 28.

The Mearns Leader has covered many of Doug's previous fundraisers

The night will feature two bands, Aberdeen-based ‘Malfunction’ and Perth-based ‘Screaming Demons’.

Doug is hoping to raise enough funds for a volunteer from the Mearns to be part of a Mercy Ship crew for one month, at no cost to themselves.

After 25 years of fundraising, the former Stonehaven Rotary president wants to thank everyone for the support he has received.

He said: “Over the years, I have become what can only be described as a serial fund-raiser.

‘‘Indeed, since moving to Stonehaven in 1988, I have raised funds almost annually, supporting numerous local charities and projects, as well as individuals with specific medical needs.

“At this point I must take the opportunity to thank all of the local (and global) bands and individuals who have given me their time, effort and support at the many events I have organised over the years.
